At the age of five, the future Swami Vireshwarananda was blessed by Swami Vivekananda, later initiated by Sri Sarada Devi, and ultimately Sannyasa from Swami Brahmananda. Swami Vireswarananda went on to become the tenth President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. He held that position for nineteen years, a tenure second only to Swami Brahmananda. This beautiful biographic essay, is enhanced by nearly 1000 pictures of the Swami and the people and places that accompanied him through his long life.
Above all, beware of compromises. Hold on to your own principles in weal or woe and never adjust them to others' fads through the greed of getting supporters. Your Atman is the support of the universe -- whose support do you stand in need of?
-Swami Vivekananda
